defining Field("description",gorma.Text) results in varchar(255) field

[Gys]

Hello

I am working on my first project using Goa and Gorma. One of the fields in one of the tables should be of the type text (be able to hold a lot of text). However, I seem unable to make this happen.

For Goa I defined a Resource("thing") with an Action("create") that has a payload with Member("description"). In the ThingMedia (MediaType) I defined the Attribute("description", String).

For Gorma I define a Model("Thing") that RendersTo(ThingMedia) and refers in BuildsFrom() to Payload("thing", "create").
I understand from the docs the way to make this a text field (to override, customize the field creation) is to add Field("description",gorma.Text) to the Model() as well. So I did.

After generating the models and create the tables, the table still defines the field "description" as being varchar(255). I expected the text-type.

Did I do something wrong ? The others fields, for example of type DateTime, are defined in the ThingMedia and are correctly created as such in the table. However, Goa does not have a specific type for Text so I have to redefine/specify that in the Gorma definition.

Maybe of importance:
All this is done using sqlite3. Because for testing the modelling a local db file is the easiest to manipulate. Gorm supports sqlite3 but Gorma does not. So I defined it as a mysql database and then in my code just open an sqlite database. This works well. Except for the Text-type problem above. But as Gorm is to be database agnostic I assume using sqlite does not matter.

The same problem is with mysql, so its not a sqlite specific problem.
I noticed #96
It might be the same issue ?
But it refers to a slack conversation :-(

From the slack conversion, for anybody having the same issue:
This is a related Gorm issue:
https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm/issues/510
So its not a Gorma issue.
